I am new to this concept in tapping into your cars functions. What do you do with the Carly and or Protool on a consistent basis? I can see you using it once but then what purpose does it have in the long run?

You can code different features on the go, disable, etc. Read codes Code modules Code battery, injectors....and a lot more. View live data... Things you would have otherwise have to take the car to the dealership for. |

I previously had Carly and Schwaben scan tools. I liked the Carly but the fact that the bluetooth adapter became out of date and I would have had to buy another for $99 I decided to go to the Schwaben scanner. I think that thing is great and for computer idiots like me very user friendly. All I need to know is code information, fuel pump purge when I need to change out injectors and battery registration. It does all of those and then some and doesn't really allow you to screw anything up.

That's not bad. The Protool is surprisingly very easy to use also. |

If one were to get one of these tools, is there a kind of standard that everyone must do. ie if you have this tool the first thing you want to change is this? or if you have this tool everyone does this mod/code first?

I already have a DCAN cable and laptop with the software installed, but it's not exactly easy and convenient. I already have an Innova 3160G, but I've been really impressed with the feedback on the Foxwell NT520. I just picked one up on eBay for $141.05 with free shipping. It's listed at $151.05, but the seller, eBay ID powerscan, is currently offering $10 off. On top of that, eBay is giving me $14.10 in eBay bucks on this purchase (a promotion that's running for a couple days), so my net cost is just $126.95. Couldn't pass that up! I'll probably keep this one in the car so it's readily available any time. If you're interested, here's a link to the eBay auction: https://www.ebay.com/itm/153213573803 |

ProTool is definitely the way to go. After this last update, it claims to be a full replacement for NCS Expert. And its not vin locked so you can use it on multiple cars.
Carly screwed themselves with the yearly subscription. |

Good thread. I have the Carly app, bought it years ago so I got grandfathered in, so no yearly subscription fees for me. The Carly is good for what it is, pretty basic functions. Reading about the Protool now, looks nice.
Anyone know if I would be able to code an adaptive cornering headlight module with the Protool?

My passenger side adaptive headlight swivels the opposite way that it should. The adaptive cornering module was replaced before I bought the vehicle and I'm betting that it was not coded when installed.

Have not used NCS Expert before, was hoping this would be an alternative.

You can code the module but I’m not sure if that’s your issue or not. Find the Bimmergeeks protool Facebook group and ask there. Or email them. I’ve coded a couple of features but people there have a much better knowledge of what’s possible.
